“Highland Southern Dialect”

I'm not talking about regional dialects, which I happen to love. I'm talking about the affected and adopted speech patterns that young people are picking up.

See you that and raise you anything from Harker’s Island! Love the people of downeast NC, but it’s akin to trying to decipher Olde English mixed with a Scottish burr and a Southern twang thrown in. LOL
